To assign QoS policies or to enable a MAC override address to a VPLS or MVPLS L2 access interface

Before you begin

The available panels and parameters vary depending on the NE, chassis type, and release.

Steps
 

Choose Manage→Service→Services from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Services form opens.


Choose a VPLS and click Properties. The VPLS Service (Edit) form opens.


On the service tree, expand Sites→site→L2 Access Interface.


Right-click on the L2 access interface and choose Properties. The VPLS L2 Access Interface (Edit) form opens.


Click on the QoS tab.


Configure the Ingress Match QinQ Dot1P parameter.

The Ingress Match QinQ Dot1P parameter is configurable only when the encapsulation type of the port is dot1q, BCP dot1q, or QinQ.


Select an ingress policy in the Ingress Policy panel.

Note: If you choose an access ingress policy which has a forwarding class mapped to an ingress queue group, you must ensure that port that you are configuring for the VPLS L2 access interface has the access ingress queue group with the same name created on it.

See To configure Ethernet ports for more information about how to configure Ethernet ports. See Chapter 49, Policies overview for more information about queue group template policies.


Select an ingress queue group template policy in the Forwarding Plane Redirect panel.


Configure the Instance ID parameter.


10 

Configure the Egress Mark QinQ Top Bits Only parameter.

The Egress Mark QinQ Top Bits Only parameter is configurable only when the encapsulation type of the port is dot1q, BCP dot1q, or QinQ.


11 

Configure the required parameters in the Aggregate Rate Limit panel.


12 

Select an egress policy in the Egress Policy panel.

Note: If you choose an access egress policy which has a forwarding class mapped to an egress queue group, you must ensure that port that you are configuring for the VPLS L2 access interface has the access egress queue group with the same name created on it.

See To configure Ethernet ports for more information about how to configure Ethernet ports. See Chapter 49, Policies overview for more information about queue group template policies.


13 

Select an egress queue group template policy in the Port Redirect panel.

Note: Selecting an Egress Queue Group Template Policy permits the redirection of Ethernet traffic packets to a queue ID specified in the egress port queue group of the SAP.

The following properties and restrictions apply:

  • If an Egress Queue Group Template Policy is specified here, the policy must have port redirection enabled.

  • You cannot use policy-based redirection with the queue group when the SAP has SAP-based redirection enabled.

  • Port access egress redirection is only supported on Ethernet/LAG ports. It is not supported on SAPs bound on non-Ethernet, Eth-tunnel, or CCAG ports.

  • Supported ports include access, hybrid, and HSMDA.

  • Queue groups can be applied to SAPs that incorporate LAGs. The LAGs can include port members from just a single card or from multiple cards.

  • If you edit a LAG incorporated by the SAP, you cannot remove the last LAG member if a queue group reference exists to the containing SAP.

  • You cannot add a secondary LAG member that has a queue group mismatch with primary LAG member.


14 

If you are configuring an L2 access interface for a 7705 SAR, or if the port you selected in To create a VPLS or MVPLS L2 access interface is not an HSMDA port, go to Step 6 of To configure scheduling on an L2 access interface .


15 

Configure the Packet Byte Offset (bytes) parameter. Before you can configure the parameter, you must enable the associated Override check box.


16 

Select a WRR policy in the Egress HSMDA Override panel.


17 

Select an HSMDA egress secondary shaper policy in the Egress HSMDA Override panel.


18 

In the Shaper Group panel, select a Shaper Group for the access ingress port or access egress port.


19 

In the IXR Specific panel, select an Egress Remark policy, Egress VLAN QoS policy, and shared policer, and configure all other parameters, as required. See To configure a 7250 SROS Remarking policy and To configure a 7250 SROS VLAN QoS policy.


20 

To enable a destination MAC override address to the L2 access interface, select the Enable Mac Overwrite check box and enter a MAC address in the IEEE Address parameter.


21 

Select an HS secondary shaper in the HS Overrides panel, if required.


22 

Save the changes and close the forms.
